It is a greenfield site. Every time I walk through Ballymun, I see a large site that could deliver public housing. At this moment, though, there is no plan to do anything with it. The market is not coming forward with a plan either. This is exactly what the LDA should be doing. Will Mr. Coleman give me a commitment to consider that site with DCC and then revert to me with an outline of a potential timeline for LDA involvement? I understand that the city council would be supportive of the LDA’s involvement on the site. This would be one way of helping to deliver much-needed housing at a time when the local authority and AHBs are doing a great deal of other work within a short distance of there.
